Earthmine is a company that I've been keeping an eye on for a while. They are a street-level 3D mapping company that collect and produce Street View type panoramic images. However, whereas Street View panoramas are really just still images, earthmine panoramas are far more sophisticated and contain 3D data and GIS. This means that the images can contain interactive points of information, can include three dimensional measurements and can be used for 3d modelling.

Hayden Planetarium operates out of the Department of Astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History. Our mission is to bring the frontier of astrophysics to the public via exhibitry, books, public programs, and on-line resources. What is the Digital Universe? The Digital Universe, developed by the American Museum of Natural History's Hayden Planetarium with support from NASA, incorporates data from dozens of organizations worldwide to create the most complete and accurate 3D atlas of the Universe from the local solar neighborhood out to the edge of the observable Universe. In preparation for the reopening of the Hayden Planetarium in 2000, the American Museum of Natural History embarked on the creation of a 3D astronomical atlas to provide a framework for teaching about the discoveries of modern astrophysics. While the Rose Center for Earth and Space was constructed outside the Museum, a digital model of the Universe was constructed inside. The atlas grew out of a convergence of two great streams of technical achievement: celestial mapmaking, which incorporates centuries of observation and scientific breakthroughs, combined with hardware and software engineering, which enables sophisticated data visualization. As new data are gathered, and new tools developed, the Digital Universe will continue to expand, filling in more details of our Universe as our understanding evolves. American Museum of Natural History Uniview Website. Scaling the Universe, the official home for the Uniview realtime visualization platform. Sciss AB provides software visualization platform designed to provide planetaria with the means to show science and astronomy. Its ScaleGraph enables scaling of the universe from a grain of rice to the edge of the observable universe. The company also offers FlightAssist, a navigation model in UniView, which provides motion and composed imagery regardless of how UniView is piloted; and Halo Surfaces, used to represent planets, to add support for planetary surfaces of arbitrary resolution. Sciss AB was founded in 2004 and is based in Norrkoping, Sweden |
